Special Note To ATS Brits Complaining About Obama And How 'Unfairly' We Are Treating BP:
I don't care what you Brits think of America, or of our elected President. He doesn't represent you. He represents us. Our President needs to consider the needs of his people, namely US, over the needs of the people of a foreign country.
Our needs come first! It's our shores being destroyed, our fishing industry being ruined, our economy which will feel the blunt of this disaster. BP is a corrupt company trying to short-change us and we, the American people, will not allow it. They block our media, and are not being transparent with quite possibly the biggest disaster this country has ever faced.
If it bankrupts BP and causes you Brits to suffer some financial pain, lost pensions, or total economic collapse, then so be it. Frankly, it is NOT our immediate concern and the majority of us don't really give a damn.
Once we settle this whole BP issue, we'll do what we can to help you. Until then, push off. Have some biscuits and tea.
You want to burn our flags? Say hateful things about us during demonstrations? More power to you. We'll burn yours in return. We'll show you the true meaning of hate. Straight up, what you Brits think of us, our country, or our President means nothing to us.
/end rant over recent reports of Brits being mad at how 'unfairly' BP is being treated by us.

I know I'm gonna get flamed by this but to me that video shows pockets of gas or trapped air bubbling to the surface. I don't see oil leaking through cracks in the sea floor. Might just be crappy video quality or my crappy eyes but I was expecting to see volumes of oil seeping out. It seems to me I've seen similar videos in the past on dive videos that had the same thing occuring in other parts of the world. Just wanted to give my NONEXPERT opinion, just seems like a stretch is all. And the things floating in and out of the video is stuff thats getting kicked up by the rovers propellers, which may in fact be the cause of the anomolies on the sea floor too. While I do fully believe that they opened a pandoras box down there and might have caused cracking to the sea floor I don't believe this video supports those claims clear enough. Point me to frame times maybe I missed them.

We need to stop projecting here.
If we are going to play the blame game it needs to be distributed to ALL who are DESERVING.

Thank you for posting that.
We've all been hearing how the flow was sandblasting the steel bop. Seems now it's been sandblasting sand this whole time too.
Time to focus on the relief drills as an only hope. But then again, where are the casing breaches at? The whole damn line could be ruptured. I can only go on a worst case scenario here, since that's been the prevailing track record with this whole clustercoitus so far.
No pun intended here whatsoever, but bp, it's time to come clean
already. Damnit.
